“…Therefore, strategic choice theory focuses on managers and the impact that their decisions have on organizational success or failure (Child, 1972).

Information technology (IT) represents a large portion of an organization's investments. Prior research has identified the linkage between IT investment and productivity. Numerous factors affect the value an organization can derive from its IT investment. However, extant literature has insufficiently studied IT governance's impact on IT's business value. In this study, we help to fill this gap by investigating the effects of IT decision making structure mechanisms and senior management's IT governance involvement on the relationship between IT investment and organizational performance. This study builds on a novel framework that integrates two theories on IT in an organizational setting: strategic choice theory and contingency theory. We pool organization-level IT investment and IT governance practice data with other organization characteristics to investigate the moderating effects of IT governance practices. The empirical analyses reveal a positive moderating effect of IT decision marking structure mechanisms on the IT investment-organization performance relationship. Nevertheless, the results indicate that senior management's IT involvement has no significant effect on this relationship. This study shows the importance of IT governance for organizations to effectively leverage their IT investment.

With increased use of technology in organizations and rapid changes in technology cyber forensic process is also advancing into new ways. In this context, organizations also need to align their technological infrastructure to meet the challenges in conducting successful process of forensic investigations to attain maximum and desired benefits of it. The objective of this article is to perceive the status of different I.T comprising organizations in terms of cyber crime and forensic investigation process and we take Pakistan as a case here. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed to survey different organizations to find out that how effectively they have secured their technology infrastructure and how supportive this setup could be for any forensic firm to perform the forensic investigation in case of occurrence of any cyber crime. In the critical analysis, the main finding reckoned as flaw found in these organizations was that they don't pay much importance to forensic investigation and because of this they don't incorporate forensic supportive tools such as employees' awareness training programs, clauses in hiring documents and acquiring the services of forensic firms as per requirement. This ignorance may lead organizations towards different types of losses in case of occurrence of cyber crime and if this situation is not addressed, forensic investigation process also could not be as accurate and successful as it has to be.
